FD owners are amusing though. i've worked on restoring some FCs that looked about in that condition... hehe
course i usually give the owner a rolleyes look when i see something like that roll off a tow truck, followed by months of cursing and banging on miscellaneous things around the shop yelling "whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" |
nice progress
|

This is so awesome! I love to see any FD saved from the crusher. This also goes to show that some sanding, paint, and hard work goes a LONG way. You don't have to spend a fortune to make a nice FD if you're smart about it and work hard.
Keep up the good work! I'm rooting for you! Dale |
holy crap dude :scratch: this is insane, would it even be safe to drive (as in get proper paperwork to drive it)? big kudos to you either way
|
why wouldnt it be safe to drive?
chasis is straight its just the panels are warp and rusted? this will be stitch welded in all corners im just trying to complete the parts first before i do work on it regarding paperwork this will be a track car but i dont like a strip car might even install a/c but will see down the road

bzebern I was thinking of doing what you are currently doing to this shell.
I owned this shell/car got it from tow company that towed it from fire off the freeway. I traded some camera work for it. I needed all engine components from it which where untouched from the fire. It had a cool setup on it, from turbo back HKS exhaust system, v mount intercooler setup, etc... I would love to come and look at your progress any time you available. I'm currently doing a single turbo swap on my FD if your going stock I can hook you up with all the components i will no longer need... |
cool man previous owner lol
